Decorative Art

The arts and crafts of Africa combine with European design traditions to create Ardmore’s distinctive collection of decorative art. Not only are Ardmore’s artworks beautiful to display in all styles of homes, they can be functional also. Fanciful candlesticks, cheese dishes and coffee mugs, decorated with African animals in luxuriant foliage, make fascinating conversation pieces at the dinner table.

Ardmore Ceramic Art is a story about the Zulu people whose sense of rhythm, color, dance and song, as well as the spirit of the African imagination, is exerting its influence on the other continents of the world. The integration of traditional cultural skills with the advantages of western technology has led to the development of a unique art form which has earned Ardmore’s ceramics the description by Christie’s of London as 'modern collectables'.
